Get involved

We are proud of all the Team Teesside members who stepped up to help vulnerable people during the COVID-19 pandemic, and all our other colleagues and students who go out of their way to make a difference in their local communities.

Become a volunteer

Help others and meet new people by becoming a Team Teesside volunteer. Put your skills and experience to good use as a Mental Health Champion or Peer Supporter, a harassment adviser, a school governor, or even an academic board member? Also, check out Voluntees and see our Guide to Volunteering.

Book Club

If you enjoy reading and chatting, why not join our online reading group. The Virtual Book Club meets via Microsoft Teams every two weeks on a Wednesday at 2.00pm to discuss the latest reads. Grab a cuppa, get comfy - it's your chance to catch up.

Faith and Reflection

Our Faith and Reflection Service hosts a range of activities to help our colleagues and students stay connected - there's lots going on including visits by Brengle the Therapy Dog, meditation sessions, prayer groups, and more.

Focus Groups

Our Team Teesside colleague focus groups help make our University a welcoming and inclusive place to work and study. Why not join a group and help identify issues and influence organisational and cultural change?

Uni Friends

Fancy having a work buddy? Our scheme will pair you up with someone from a different area of University to check in with and chat through your week. Contact Occupational Health for information.

Team Teesside is about raising aspirations, widening access and giving individuals the tools needed to reach more meaningful careers, providing them and their families with a better future quality of life.
